Consideration and adoption of the millage rate will be heard subsequently at the Regular Meeting at 6:00 PM on October 7, 2024.
This tentative increase will result in a millage rate of 6.721 mills, an increase of 1.594 mills. Without this tentative tax increase, the millage rate will be no more than 5.127 mills.
